TROUBLE FINDING AN OLD STREET.
1) Starting around 1860, the city directories have a
section where every street is listed along with the
streets that intersect. Compare familiar names found
on a modern map and make your best guess.
2) You can try looking at an old map such as the 1887
GRAY'S NEW MAP. Click on the map's name or
download it. The Baltimore City Archives has a
clollection of maps at BC Archives Maps.
